Full presence mindfulness takes you beyond the self.
It opens the door to a world of wonder – a new outlook on life.
Because there’s more to life than self-improvement.
Mindfulness training can be valuable for treating many difficulties in our stressed-out society, including anxiety, tension, and depression. It can also help people find more joy and appreciation in the simple, daily activities that make up our lives.
Yet mindfulness has the potential to offer much more. Through being fully present, we can activate a new vision of what it means to be alive. It’s not just about having different experiences; it’s about experiencing differently. When we live experience fully, we find meaning and deep satisfaction.
By activating the FPM vision, you learn how to open up your own possibilities. This shift happens easily and naturally, and you can learn the basics in a single 8-week training. By simply attuning to what is going on in each moment—starting with breathing, hearing, and seeing—you lay the foundation for a new way of being.
Why practice Full Presence Mindfulness?
Because experience is not what we think it is.
We live in our bodies and know through our senses. We think and feel, act on our values, and build relationships. We tell stories to ourselves and to others, and we make sense of the world from moment to moment.
Full Presence Mindfulness invites us to explore and transform all these dimensions of our experience, opening gateways into a world without boundaries or limitations.

ORIGINS
FPM grows out of teachings developed for the West by Tibetan lama Tarthang Tulku. In 1997, he presented a new vision of reality, known as the Time Space Knowledge Vision. As he wrote, it had as its goal “the liberation of the modern mind.” Secular and highly experiential, it has been developed in six books and countless courses, retreats, and programs.
Jack Petranker, a close student of Tarthang Tulku with 40 years of experience teaching meditation, mindfulness, and explorations in consciousness, developed FPM starting in 2014. He sees it as a way of introducing into the modern mindfulness movement a far-reaching, non-dual understanding that can be put into practice in every moment.
